Fade

I stood
Mountain high
Travelling at the speed of sound
Heartbeats
Like drums
kick bass
and I stood
adrenaline high
watching with awe
this life
I was promised
A queen devoured
I was a queen
Devoured
Being torn down
By those I swore to protect
Now I stand
Barely breathing
Raged and beaten
Holding on to a pauper’s tail
Worshiping the ride
